ASP Code doesn't compile

[MTGMAN64]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but any ASP code I put in the source code doesn't publish. For instance, I might use a Date function between <% %>. You can see it in the source code, but when you try to bring it up in Internet Explorer it doesn't show at all. Currently I have IIS 3.0, and Internet Explorer 5.0. I'm thinking I don't have IIS configured properly to display ASP Code. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

you will never see ASP in the source of the web site:

1.browser requests page
2.server checks for asp code and processes it, returning
normal client-side HTML,script,etc.
3.server sends page to browser

anythign between <%%> will not show up in the final page

Is your question that you want to see the source code, or that you want to see some output? I presume you want to see some output from your code.

To get some output, you have to explicitly tell the parser to output something. eg:

<% Now() %>

...does nothing. It calculates Now() but does nothing with it. You need to use the Response object to write to the document:

<% Response.Write Now() %>

... or use the shorthand notation:

<%= Now() %>

Hope this helps

What url are you using to view the page?
It should be

http://localhost/rest-of-address

If you are just browsing to the file name then it will not be deliveried by IIS.
